Yeah, boy!  I woulda trashed that POS arcade monitor and replaced it with an LCD!  Next, paint it black.  Aren't all arcade cabs black?  With neon T-molding.  Then cut off that control panel and replace it with a bigger one with every control in existence on there!

Think my 486 will play Blitz full speed?  I hope so, that's the computer that's going in there!

There's no way I would have Mame'd it! I would have got it going and put it right in my office at work.

Robotron is an awesome game. Especially on a dedicated cab. I even have a set of Wico joysticks I could have swapped in there instead of those bats.

Oh well.

Yep - I missed it too. Didn't catch it until around the time you posted this.

Yeah I called about an hour after it was posted. The woman seemed very much like someone who knew nothing about it and just wanted it gone. It sold for the $50.

Maybe we'll see it in Brian's arcade museum when he opens it. (If he was the one who got it)
